Lookout below! trump approval returning to the cult - the unmoveable 35-40 or so

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-approval-ratings/?cid=rrpromo

Link above - latest has aggregate of 38.1 approve (Rasmussen, as always, is the poll fluffer), 58 disapprove. The new Pew poll just became integrated into the data a few minutes ago. That is the highest disapprove in the entire 538 polling aggregate for trump - 36.4 was the lowest approve, so he has just a bit more to fall to make it the worst point in his presidency (and it is still too high)

No longer matters, but his rating over his entire presidency has been beautiful. Tremendous(ly low - historically putrid - just like him)

Find the best method to humble and shame them. Stripping, whipping, and crucifixion as one example. Consider how Mussolini's body was hung on display by his own people. At the end I bet Hilter's people would have done the same thing (well maybe not in that case).

Obviously we don't do that today, but the theory holds the same. You do not get reconciliation with these people by allowing a dignified walkaway. As bad as Nixon was, he was not a fascist. You cannot think to treat Trump like you did Nixon. You have to take everything from him. You have to imprison him if you can. In fact if you can prove culpability in the intent to breach the capital, you charge him with federal Murder and, if you get a conviction, you execute him.
